    Release Notes for Blitz 4.56

    Release Notes
    IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover Blitz 4.56

    While creating the upcoming TF 5.0 Tobruk of the CLIFFS OF DOVER series, we also improve many things that also benefit CLIFFS OF DOVER BLITZ, so we're very happy to release this new patch 4.56 with the following improvements:

    • Revised AI behaviour
      • We've generally improved the AI's behaviour in many situations.
      • The default skill settings are now more granular and the the particular skills (Basic Flying, Advanced Flying, Awareness, Aerial Gunnery, Tactics, Vision, Bravery) now better match the proficiency levels (Rookie, Average, Vetaren, Ace). All missions delivered with CloD were updated with the new default skill levels.
      • A bug in the airfield tower communications (tower's "clear to land" order) has been fixed and AI aircraft now correctly land at airfields when landing waypoint is specified by mission builder.
        These are the first steps in a series of AI improvements we hope to make for CLIFFS OF DOVER BLITZ as well as our upcoming TF 5.0 Tobruk release.
    • Rearm and Refuel: Mission builders can now allow rearm and refuel functionality in their missions.
      • Refuel is in percent. The mission builder can implement whatever he needs.
      • Rearm is available as "Rearm all", meaning guns and bombs, or as "Rearm only guns".
      • All this is only available if the mission builder implements it. The game checks no requirements and the rearm and refuel is immediate. The mission builder can impose requirements ("landed at airfield, parked, magnetos off, fuel cocks closed, no damages") and show the messages reminding the pilot about it. He also can implement waiting times (e.g. longer time for bigger planes) and messages about it. Also, a truck driving up to the plane could be coded by the mission builder.
      • Example mission scripts are available here:
    • The Lorenz blind landing system has been implemented. The Transmitter and cockpit instruments have been fixed.
    • Longer range non-directional radio beacons and long range beacons are now functional.
    • Transition between different land textures has been improved.
    • OnBuildingDestroyed() is now correctly called in multiplayer when a building is destroyed.
    • A static Dictionary<string, object> has been added to the AMission object so mission builders can modularize code.
    • The propellor pitch control animation for He-111 has been fixed.
    • The propellor pitch control animation for He-111 and Ju-88 is now correct (it was reversed).
    • New Sounds and Sound Fixes:
      • Fixed issue rendering 75% of land vehicle sounds (armored car, trucks, etc..) being inaudible.
      • Fixed distance dropoff for above land vehicles.
      • Fixed dynamic blasts (added to explosions and cannons).
      • Revised Overstress SFX
      • Revised aircraft buffeting SFX
      • Added new supercharger whistle.
      • Added dynamic panning to aircraft exterior view.
      • Implemented basic 3D positional audio (It should now be easier to locate a sound source.)
      • Revised Fiat A-74
      • Revised Fiat A-80
      • Revised DB601 series
      • Revised Jumo211 series
      • Revised Merlin Series.
      • Added Merlin XII Coffman Starter.
      • Fixed Merlin sounding idle if throttle was moved under 20%-30%
      • Revised MG 17
      • Revised Hispano
      • Revised Browning .303s
      • Native bird calls
      • New engine sounds for the Tiger Moth
      • Relevant Bugtracker entries:
        • #850 (Resolved): Fiat G.50 engine sound cut out at high rpm when listening from outside
        • #1099 (Resolved): Bad engine sound above idle in Blitz on He 111 and Ju 88 Aircraft
        • #952 (Resolved): Merlin engine sounds louder at low revs than at high power
        • #736 (Resolved): Bf 109: /B variants sound bug
        • #1062 (Resolved): Beaufighter engine sounds periodic bass pulsing
        • #547 (Resolved): Fighter 303 sounds cut out

    Sweet! I just checked Steam and it still says 4.55... is there anything we can do to force it to update?

    ***EDIT***
    Never mind, ran the game and it says 4.56

    Thanks Team Fusion! Awesome!

    If you start Steam and select under games, IL-2 STURMOVIK CLIFFS OF DOVER BLITZ, it should automatically update.

    Rearm and refuel (especially in this much more complex version) will be a real game changer, especially for longer campaigns!
    Wonderful addition!

    And there will be a fuel truck driving up!

    Can't wait until the mission builders will implement it.

    S!

    AI seem much more aggressive which is great.
    Really have to be on my toes now!

    Engine sounds much better overall.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for this TFS!

    First observations after flying the quick mission Bomber intercept London, I like the new sound of the Browning .303s.
    Bombers are staying in formation, no more strange maneuvers, more realistic.

    The clear to land order does now work, but unfortunately AI aircraft are still crashing at the home airfield, I hope this will be fxed.

    Flew an E-4N for about an hour... could barely hear machine guns and cannon over the sound of the engine, but they did sound different. Any way to make them louder?

    Nice work chaps!
    Loving the new sounds for the engines, especially being able to hear the starter inside the cockpit on startup!
    The RAF fighters sound a lot more rounded now, and the RPM sound effect are fantastic!

    Nice work!

    I thought there was someone breathing down my neck when the overstress SFX first kicked in. Great job.

    Please note the tree colors have been updated 25 october : in version 4.57.3 the trees are orange again. These videos are out of date. Apparently TFS hadn't intended to change the tree color and now the error is fixed. Thanks TFS!

    Enjoying the new colour scheme of English_Channel_1940_Autumn with no orange trees... it's a huge improvement!

    Yes it is about Beaufort 7, nearly a gale: I had to have a reason for no flying aircraft in the video!

    landscape textures.jpg

    The close-up shows the new landscape texture edge rendering.
    On the right, for instance the plowed field looks much better and the road blends smoothly into the landscape.
    Distant, lower aircraft dots are thus less likely to disappear into graphics artifacts.
    Effectively this change helps with spotting and tracking contacts at greater distance.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for the update, the new additions are great! I have a question with regards to the Hawker Hurricane's Tachometer. Did the engine RPM reading vary so much in real life? If so, sorry for bringing it up; but it does make setting engine RPMs quite difficult presently. Furthermore, if this has already been discussed forgive my ignorance to it!
